Dr. David J. Wages offers rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as “nose reshaping” or a “nose job,” in Peabody, MA, to enhance facial harmony, refine nasal proportions, and address breathing issues due to structural nasal defects. Rhinoplasty can adjust nose size, bridge width, nostril size and position, and correct any visible humps or depressions. It can also reshape the nasal tip if it is enlarged, drooping, or hooked, and restore symmetry to the nose.

Overview

Ideal Candidate:
Rhinoplasty is ideal for individuals with completed facial growth, good health, and realistic goals for aesthetic or functional improvements.

Procedure Details:
This procedure refines the nose’s shape, balance, and function, enhancing overall facial harmony and improving nasal airflow if structural issues are present.
